** This new Lil' Plates formula will be replacing the Grain Free Small Breed Formula.
Merrick Lil' Plates recipes are are specially formulated for your small and toy breed dogs! Small breed dogs have special nutritional needs to feed their high metabolism and faster growth rates, not to mention small mouths mean they need a small kibble. So Merrick has taken their high quality, grain free dry foods and shrunk them down to deliver high quality nutrition with no grains, fillers, by-products, and all USA sourced ingredients.
This formula is appropriate for all life stages feeding.
